</p>
    <h2 id="lpc-8.description">Description</h2>
<p><strong>lpc</strong> provides limited control over printer and class queues provided by CUPS. It can also be used to query the state of queues.
</p>
    <p>If no command is specified on the command-line, <strong>lpc</strong> displays a prompt and accepts commands from the standard input.
</p>
    <h3 id="lpc-8.description.commands">Commands</h3>
<p>The <strong>lpc</strong> program accepts a subset of commands accepted by the Berkeley <strong>lpc</strong> program of the same name:
</p>
    <p style="margin-left: 2.5em; text-indent: -2.5em;"><strong>exit</strong><br>
Exits the command interpreter.
</p>
    <p style="margin-left: 2.5em; text-indent: -2.5em;"><strong>help </strong>[<em>command</em>]<br>
</p>
    <p style="margin-left: 2.5em; text-indent: -2.5em;"><strong>? </strong>[<em>command</em>]<br>
Displays a short help message.
</p>
    <p style="margin-left: 2.5em; text-indent: -2.5em;"><strong>quit</strong><br>
Exits the command interpreter.
</p>
    <p style="margin-left: 2.5em; text-indent: -2.5em;"><strong>status </strong>[<em>queue</em>]<br>
Displays the status of one or more printer or class queues.
</p>
    <h2 id="lpc-8.notes">Notes</h2>
<p>This program is deprecated and will be removed in a future feature release of CUPS.
</p>
    <p>Since <strong>lpc</strong> is geared towards the Berkeley printing system, it is impossible to use <strong>lpc</strong> to configure printer or class queues provided by CUPS.
To configure printer or class queues you must use the
<a href="lpadmin.html"><strong>lpadmin</strong>(8)</a>

command or another CUPS-compatible client with that functionality.
